Luna, Lucus, Theo, Jason and I went into the palace to gear us up with some weapons.

"Woah this is amazing!" Lucas exclaimed.

"It is indeed." Theo said.

The boys split up to their side while Luna, me and a girl named Lena, who was one of the guardians, that went our age went on our side to change.

"Who knew you had a sister and a brother, Gabby?" Luna asked.

"I know. We could've been together here, in this palace, but no, we had to be separated." I said with anger.

"Are you excited to see them?"

"Yes, but not happy enough."

"Why not?"

"Because of Alex! Why can't this world ever be in peace? What's with the fighting?" I cried, burying my hands in my face.

"It's ok. After you destroy Alex, the world will be in peace. Now let's go. Everyone is probably waiting."

We meant everyone outside all ready to go.

"Ready, Drago?"

Drago smiled as I hopped onto his back.

"Guards, ready?" Twilight asked.

"Yes ma'am." They said.

"Earthlings?"

"Gabriela?"

"Yes." I said proudly.

"Alright, I lead." Twilight said.

We traveled into the cold, dark air. I knew something as bad as this would happen one day. Now we're here finding my siblings.

Minutes past and we reached Alex's hideout once again. I was surprised there was no guards in front and the door was wide open.

"Strange. It must be a trap." Twilight searched the place suspiciously,. "Stay in pairs and be careful of your surroundings."

We did as Twilight told us. Jason and Luna, Lucas and Lena, Theo and I, and the guards together with Twilight.

Theo held his clammy hands onto mine as if he's scared of what's coming.

We split up and looked for any signs of Isabella. This place is big, so she could be anywhere.

"Do you think we would find her here and maybe even Noah?" I asked Theo.

"I'm positive they're here and alive. Don't you worry." Theo smiled even though he looks pale.

"Are you scared of Alex?"

"Me? Scared? I'm the opposite of scared."

I laughed when he started to mumble like he did when we were in the Mystery Garden.

Theo and I suddenly heard a door slam.

"Quick, hide." Theo whispered, dragging me into a closet.

"GUARDS! STOP PLAYING CARDS AND GET TO WORK!" Alex shouted, "YOU NEED TO PROTECT THE CELL IN THE UPPER FLOOR OR THAT STUPID PRINCESS WILL FIND IT! GO NOW!"

footsteps quickly rushed up to the upper level as we waited until the coast was clear.

"Theo, did you hear that? Isabella and maybe Noah is in the upper cell." I cried.

"Yeah I heard. We should get going." He said.

"But don't we need a plan?"

"Your right." He said thinking, "oh how about we make a distraction. I will distract the guards and take them to a different location, while you find the key and open the cell."

"Great plan, but I don't even know how my siblings look like. How am I supposed to know which is them?" I asked.

"I'm pretty sure only your siblings are up there alone, while the other prisoners are at the lower level."

"Ok let's do this. Be careful."

"You be careful too. Yell if your in trouble." Theo hugged me tight into his arms and kissed the top of my head. Then disappeared.

I went to look for the keys and realized the keys are next to the cell where the guards were guarding. So I waited until Theo took them to another location.

As he did, and I'm surprised it worked because I heard they were all laughing down the stairs. I went to grab the key. I turned towards the cell and saw a cute little girl and a older boy.

"Isabella? Noah? Is that you?" I asked.

"How do you know our names? Who are you?" Noah asked and protected Isabella from my reach.

"I'm your sister, Gabriela."

"Gabriela?" Noah thought for a minute, "Gabriela as in the princess of the King and Queen!? Is that really you?"

"Yes it's me!" I cried and unlocked the cell.

Noah rushed and squeezed me so tight that I couldn't breathe.

"Noah, who is Gabriela?" Isabella tugged on Noah's pants.

"Isabella, this is your big sister, Gabriela." Noah knelt down to her height and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I have another sibling? I have another sibling! This is AWESOME!" Isabella danced.

"Shhh." Noah and I shushed her.

"Sorry." She whispered.

"So where were you all these years? I been searching for you." He asked.

"Long story. Tell you after we get out of here." I said.
